Asters in the photo: the most spectacular flower varieties
Asters in the photo look just charming, but in reality, these queens of the autumn garden are simply amazing with their splendor. It is extremely easy to care for them, while thanks to their spectacular appearance, even the most ordinary-looking flower beds and flower beds, which have lost all their beauty in the autumn, are transformed and remain strikingly beautiful until the very frosts. The asters in the photo are representatives of one of the most simple and uncomplicated externally varieties. But today, many growers prefer to plant more noble varieties on their plots, the appearance of which was the result of the work of breeders. Let's take as an example several of the most successful and effective varieties of asters.
Flowers belonging to the Valkyrie group fell in love with flower growers due to their gigantic size: the diameter of their flowers reaches 16 centimeters, while up to 14 powerful stems are formed on one plant. Such a bush will become the highlight of the flower bed, and when cut, the Valkyrie will delight you for up to two weeks. The Dragon variety attracts attention with the unusual flower shape for asters, the petals of which bend and twist, like those of garden chrysanthemums. The diameter of the flower is also quite large and reaches 12-15 centimeters, and up to a dozen peduncles are formed on the bush.
One of the newest groups of Matador is distinguished by spectacular and unusual flowers, the appearance of which was the result of crossing princess-type asters and peony plants, which are radically different from each other. These flowers are perhaps the most impressive in size: up to 20 centimeters in diameter.
I agree that asters are unpretentious flowers. And in autumn I associate them with the beginning of cold weather .. So to speak, the last flowers ..
